    In the final episode of season two, Mel chats with tech entrepreneur, brand expert and NDIS participant Steve Ralph. At the end of 2017, Steve misjudged a jump into a swimming pool and sustained a spinal cord injury that saw him become a quadriplegic. Steve now needs significant support to go about his day and he's got some very cool assistive tech to help him get out adventuring, like modified bikes and kayaks and an all-terrain wheelchair. He shares how he manages his NDIS funds with the help of a support coordinator and his advice for people who are new to the scheme.  In very exciting news, Steve is hosting a new, soon-to-launch podcast for Hireup called Life Rolls On. This series sees Steve chatting with other people who've experienced life-changing injuries – and sharing the challenges and triumphs they've had since.  Listen to the Life Rolls On trailer: https://omny.fm/shows/life-rolls-on/life-rolls-on-trailer-a-podcast-about-living-well Get in touch with NDIS Know-how topic and/or guest suggestions: melanie.dimmitt@hireup.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tubie Fun was inspired by Stacey's son, Callum, who's been tube-fed for pretty much his whole life. Callum is now six, and is one of three boys being raised by Stacey and her husband, Anthony, in Brisbane. Both Callum and his brother Harry, 8, have NDIS plans supporting various diagnoses including level-two autism, ADHD and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), which is a group of conditions that affect the body's connective tissue. Stacey, like Callum and Harry, has EDS. She also has a condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which is a blood circulation disorder. Stacey is in the process of applying for her own NDIS plan and shares some of this experience, as well as her son Harry's transition out of early childhood early intervention (ECEI) to the over-7s' arm of the NDIS.  Mel and Stacey also talk about the benefits of having allied health therapists supporting kids at home, rather than in clinics, and share some nitty-gritty NDIS admin advice.
